Lot essay

Wang Bingrong was one of the finest of a small group of independent ceramicists of the nineteenth century who began to emerge from the traditionally anonymous production of ceramics at Jingdezhen by signing their names, developing distinctive styles and acquiring fame. His dates are not known, but Wang probably worked sometime during the Daoguang period into the second half of the nineteenth century.
